monica91355 27 Posted January 20, 2017 Woohoo! How long was it after completing the Options program until you got your initial surgery date? I have my orientation to the Options program on Monday at Panorama City Kaiser. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hectorlopez323 60 Posted January 20, 2017 Nice. It was like 5 months for me. Because my sugar was too high and it took me a few months to get it down. You probably get it done like 2 months after your classes if everything is checked out Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App You'll get your psych eval done, xray, labs, everything while you're taking the classes. I did options at panorama like 3 yrs ago or so but Obama kicked in and I lost my healthcare. Then I moved to Lancaster and I took them again last year. I'm getting it done at the West LA Kaiser. Everyone tells me that's the best place to get it done Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
